My husband had Rolex watch stolen while going thru security in Rapid City, S.D. last Monday 4-21. TSA employee insisted he take watch off, he never has been told to take jewelry off, he did and then was “randomly” chosen for addtl. screening, in that 3 minutes time his watch was taken. Cameras have not worked for over 3 months at that particular checkpoint, police officer said there is nothing he can do for him??? All fingers point to TSA employee… what a nightmare!!

@William, no I’m not certified to teach in Fl, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn last night.

Seriously though, I have a bachelors degree. Isn’t it just a certificate on top of that? And, what is her area of expertise? Is she a music teacher, or a shop teacher, etc.? What about having a certificate makes necessitates an understanding of science?

“The Academic Freedom Act”
Reminds me of the “Clear Skies Initiative” that raised the levels of pollutants allowed to be discharged into the atmosphere.

Kim

I am glad you found my post useful. The rest of the blog should hopefully be useful as well. I am currently writing two new posts, one on using the train and the other on the situation of the TSA and how it affects us as travelers.

I honestly have no idea if being mentioned on The Strobist two weeks in a row has affected my traffic. I have no stat counter and have not installed Google Analytics. The Blog was originally written for a few flying photogs , some of whom were new to flying and I try and maintain writing it on that level.

Happy Flying!

Great info Fish. Thanks. By the way, caught a link to your post about this on Strobist … congrats. That has to have driven some traffic your way. You finished that particular post with some sound advice:

“The lesson here , even for the most experienced flyer? You guessed, let them know what is i your bag up front and stick around until your baggage tag has a “TSA” sticker on it and us placed on the baggage belt.”
